Story of the reason why the cockerel appears on the Kellogs Corn Flakes box. Story of Nancy Richards, Welsh harpist visiting the breakfast cereal developers the Kellog family in the USA in the 1920's. She pointed out that the name Kellog was similar to 'ceiliog', Welsh for cockerel. Hence the cockerel that still appears on the box of Corn Flakes. The colour of the cockerel also reflects the colours on the welsh flag. Never knew that  |  | | |  |

Haven’t seen that for years. |  | | |

Should the ll in Kellogs have the Welsh pronunciation then? |
It’s Welsh but with a special k. | | | |

Hump you’ve got to see it, Peter Sellers is mesmerising in the three parts he plays.
Five stars and then some, one of the best movies of all time. |  |

It was on recently but I didn't watch it. I'll have to make the effort.
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room." Good line. |  | | |

I watched it again recently (for the umpteenth time) when I had the house to myself and I was laughing out loud. Some of the lines and the timing of their delivery are genius. | |

He also liked his horses which is why it says Kello-gg's.
The story I heard was that the lady was playing at a big party they were having and was invited to stay overnight. Then at breakfast when the cereal appeared....

Best paid job in Wrexham was Kellogg's, starting on £28k and going up to £43k after 6 months for a fork lift driver before it changed. A lot of related people work there. I had an interview years ago and got destroyed by a manager who had someone already lined up for the roll. |  |

The story is definitely true I have heard Nansi Richards relate it herself on S4C a few years ago. |  | | |

The wheelchair bound Dr Strangelove character is how I mentally picture one of Planet Swans most avid contributors. You all know who I mean.
No, not Darran. |  | | |
